A TED hose, often referred to as an anti-embolism stocking, is a densely woven high compression non-gradient (compression distribution is the same from foot and ankle to the top of the hose) stocking that comes in both closed and open-toe (open-toe allows for checking the patients pulse) that is thigh-high in length and is typically administered to a post-surgical patient who is non-ambulatory (unable to get up and move around). TED hose is usually worn as a pair for a short duration (during recovery) to promote optimum blood flow for the prevention of chronic swelling, blood clots or deep venous thrombosis (DVT). A TED hose is also available in knee-thigh length that can be worn by non-patients, e.g., diabetics, who suffer with poor leg circulation. The acronym T.E.D. stands for Thrombo Embolic Deterrent. It is a trademark brand name owned by the Kendall Company.
